HOW TO ACCESSORIES THE PLAID BLAZER

I bet you already know how? Especially if you read my spring summer 2018 trend report (here). This year we wear everything with a dangling belt. Yes, you read this right. Get a belt, secure it with the tongue buckle and then let the excess material to dangle. Or get a belt like the one I’m wearing. This one is from Slovenian designer Susnyara. And I have no idea where to get it now. I guess by contacting her in person.

Still, there are far more exciting belts out there you can wear with any dress. Although I must say, I love mine as well. Surely you know this, you save me wearing it just the other day with a denim jacket and red dress too.
